q0 is too slow and is not recommended for general use. It is better to use q2 as default because it's twice as fast and yet produces the same quality.
Also, VBR mp3 in an AVI is not a good idea (I'm not sure why exactly; something to do with compatibility). So, better default to cbr (128).

Re: quality algorithm
I've made changes for partitions, pyramid and deblock options. Set default value of frameref to 1 may not be welcomed by everyone. Although I like quality better than speed in most cases, many people argue why MediaCoder is slower than other software.
Stay tuned for an update.
